Is Adobe Flex suitable to build a Multimedia Presentation?

I am looking for some advice on the suitability of using
Adobe Flex for building a Multimedia presentation system. I have
watched numerous videos about Flex and even tried some tutorials
but before I make a decision on Technologies for a project I am
working on, I wanted to consult the Flex community for some advice.
I have to take Multimedia Presentation made using PowerPoint
and build it into a custom made Multimedia Presentation that has
similar functionality. Would Adobe Flex would be a suitable tool?
The Presentation must be viewable on the Internet and be deployed
to the Desktop so combining Flex with Adobe AIR would be needed to
meet this requirement.
I guess the general requirements are as follows:-
The user must be able to navigate forward and backward
through pages of the presentation.
The Presentation must be able to display Flash video's. When
video is played, the video must open in a new window infront of the
main application. Images and animated GIF'S must have the same
functionality.
Based on these requirements, would Flex be suitable?
Thanks in advance for you help and advice.

I think Flex would be very suitable for building a multimedia
presentation system. Once you create your Flex app and generate the
SWF file, you can post it on the web, or view it on the desltop,
even without AIR. You could use view states to transition between
pages, though you would have other options as well. You could
display Flash videos easily, and I believe you could have the video
open in a new top window. Same with images and gifs. Flex would be
a very good choice I believe.

  • Problem Installing Adobe Flex Builder 3 (Standalone)

    I have attempted a few times today to install the Flex Builder 3 standalone file, but I am having issues. I am currently using Adobe CS4 Design Premium on my computer.
    I am new to this type of application development.  Currently, I mainly used flash to create my interactive applications, but I need to branch out to create more complex applications.  As I already know actionscript 3.0, I was interesting into getting into Flex.  I do not know Javascript, C++, etc.
    Once I download the standalone file to my desktop and run the installer, I do not choose to download Flash Player 9 because I already have nor do I choose do download the Coldfusion or JSEclipse Plug-in as I do not have Eclipse on my computer (it comes with the standalone as I have been led to believe).  After running the installer, it almost gets to the end and then I get the following error message:
    I click OK, it finishes the install and says
    I go to the log file and get the following:

    Can anybody help me on this?  Is there something I missing prior to download?

    We're in the same boat here - the the behavour of xsd:all in
    BETA 3 renders our Flex app virtually useless because of
    communication issues with the backend webservice. We have studied
    the proposed workaround suggested, unfortunately we only control
    the FLEX app - we do not control the WS we have to integrate with.
    As a result we've gone back to BETA 2 to do some critical
    changes in the software but the "Beta expired." message we've been
    receiving is really not well received. As we have been very
    proactive in supporting development in the BETA phases including
    reporitng bugs, we think that Adobe shoudl also have some
    flexibility here and offer ways to extend the BETA 2. We're not
    asking for any type of support during that phase - purely the
    ability to compile our source until we can implement the full work
    around which will allow the software to run on BETA 3. The
    suggestion to change dates or go to previous restore points do not
    work well here with our numerous developers.

  • Please give me some examples of video chat with adobe flash builder 4 or adobe flex 3.5

    I'm a newbie for flex. I had a project from my college to made a video chat application using Adobe Flash Builder 4 and used Red5.  please help me, give me some examples of video chat source code, so that i may to learn it. thanks a lot friends.

    As you are starting at the beginning you may as well start with FB4. When you install FB4 you will find that its start page has links to documentation tutorials and examples through the tour-de-flex. There are some great blogs that continue to offer advice and examples, nothing beats well written examples for learning. If you are on face book there is an Adobe Flex page that is continually giving links to examples and information about e-seminars.
    And of course there is here. So jump on board and have a bit of fun.

  • Adobe Flex Mobile + AIR - Custom iOS Build Setting

    I am building some Adobe Flex Mobile application using Flex 4.6.0 + AIR 3.5 only for iOS
    This app involves some iOS Native Extension created also by me.
    The thing is that this ANE uses some third party framework (GD.framework from Good Dynamics Technology). That framework requires GD FIPS linker to be used, and for that, i need to set some custom build settings in a .xcconfig file, with this content:
    FIPS_PACKAGE=$(CURRENT_ARCH).sdk LDPLUSPLUS=/Good Technology/Good.platform/FIPS_module/$FIPS_PACKAGE/bin/gd_fipsld LD=/Good Technology/Good.platform/FIPS_module/$FIPS_PACKAGE/bin/gd_fipsld
    The ANE compiles OK, but then, I add the ANE to the app, I compile the app, but when I launch the app, it crashes because the FIPS linker was not properly got set on my Flex Mobile project.
    So, my question is:
    Is there a way to set the above configuration on my project like somebody would do in a Xcode project?
    Regards!

    I see your key as a reserved key for iOS. I haven't tested it myself but here's the keys you cannot change. Sure enough, MinimumOSVersion is reserved.

  • Buy License Adobe Flex Builder 2

    In our company we are working on a project with Adobe Flex Builder 2, and we need to buy a license for Flex Builder 2. Our supplier reply us that Adobe sells only the latest versions (Flash Builder 4.5), but for our project we need the version 2 Adobe Flex. We have seen that Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 enables working in Flex 3 and 4 way, but not 2 which is what we need. I have not found a way to buy a license for version 2 of Adobe Flex Builder, how can we buy ??
    Thank you very much for your help

    Using multiple SDKs in Flash Builder 4
    Flash Builder lets you change the version of the SDK that you use to compile your projects. You can select the SDK when you first create a project or at any time you are working on a project.
    Using a different SDK can be useful if you are given a project that was developed using Flex Builder 2.0.1 (which uses the Flex 2.0.1 SDK), but you are running Flash Builder 4 (which uses the Flex 4 SDK by default). By selecting an older SDK to build with, you can maintain projects that have not been updated to be compatible with the latest version of the SDK. In addition, if you are currently working on a project for the Flex 2.0.1 SDK, but want to use the Flash Builder 4 features such as code refactoring, you can upgrade your edition of Flash Builder, but then select the older SDK as the default SDK

    You may not be able to buy the old flex builder.
    It may be possible to use flash builder with the older SDK. Download the trial and give it a go.

  • Incresing script Time Limit in Adobe Flex Builder 2.0

    Hi All,
    Using a Adobe Flex Builder I am creating an application which
    has lot of complex recursive sorting algorithms that take
    comparitively more time and hence the overall time required to
    complete the excecution of function goes beyond 60 secods after 60
    secods Flash player throws an error message and terminates the
    script excecution.Is there any way to increase scriptTimeLimit more
    than 60 Secods.Currently I am adding scriptTimeLimit parameter in
    Applicatio tag so that I am able to run my function for 60
    seconds...
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="absolute" creationComplete="DoSomething()"
    scriptTimeLimit="60">
    Is there any way to increase tis limit to say 10 minutes?

    You will not be happy to hear this, but no. As of flash
    Player 8, 60 seconds is the maximum.
    I have a client who is frozen at FP7 because of this stupid,
    arrogant decision. I have filed enhancement requests on this to no
    avail.
    People will blather on about how longer times result in a
    "bad experience" for the user, but this is again arrogant for them
    to believe they have any clue what MY application does and what
    users will accept.
    What if Flex Builder bombed out any time a compile took
    longer than 60 seconds? What kind of "experience" would that be?
    Because of this idiotic limitation, I am going to have to
    move my recursive processing to the server. But this will take
    about 6 weeks, and I have yet to find the "spare" time, or to find
    someone to pay for it.
    Grrrr.
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
